Thankful. Grateful. Blessed. We open our doors to the community, with our free fruit tasting event. Celebrate Thanksgiving Weekend at Silver Creek Nursery's Annual Fruit Tasting Open House

Looking for a unique way to spend Thanksgiving weekend? Join us at Silver Creek Nursery for our annual Fruit Tasting Open House—a free, family-friendly event that celebrates the incredible diversity of fruits that can be grown right here in Canada.

Whether you're a seasoned fruit grower, a curious gardener, or simply someone who loves discovering new flavours, this is an experience you won't find at your local grocery store.

Taste Fruits You've Never Tried Before!

One of the highlights of the weekend is the opportunity to sample an incredible selection of fresh, tree-ripened fruits, including rare and unusual varieties that are difficult to find anywhere else. From heritage apples and pears to unique fruits like the famous pawpaw (which has it’s very own cult following), you'll discover flavours that may completely change the way you think about fruit.

Learn, Explore, and Be Inspired

Our Fruit Tasting Open House is more than just a tasting event—it's a chance to connect with fellow growers and learn from people who are passionate about cultivating their food.

During your visit you can:

* Sample over 90 unique fruit varieties.

* Watch traditional cider pressing demonstrations.

* Enjoy fruit-inspired treats and beverages.

* Browse our nursery and discover over 500 cultivars of food-bearing plants.

* Meet local vendors offering honey, produce, plants, and other locally made goods.

Whether you're planning your first backyard orchard or expanding an established one, you'll leave with new ideas, fresh inspiration, and perhaps a few new favourite fruits.

A Perfect Thanksgiving Tradition

Thanksgiving is all about gathering with family, celebrating the harvest, and appreciating the abundance of the season. Our Fruit Tasting Open House brings all of those traditions together in a beautiful orchard setting.

Bring the kids, invite your friends, or make it a stop on your Thanksgiving weekend adventures. There is something for every age—from adventurous food lovers to aspiring orchardists.

We Can't Wait to See You!

Admission is free, and everyone is welcome. Come hungry, bring your curiosity, and spend a few hours celebrating the amazing flavours of the harvest season with us.
